Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a correction method for leaf area index, in particular to a correction method for measuring leaf area index by using LAI-2000 plant canopy analyzer, and belongs to the field of forest ecology. Background technique
[0002] Leaf area index (LAI) refers to half of the total leaf surface area per unit surface area (Chen and Black, 1992). LAI affects the microclimate in the forest ecosystem canopy, determines radiative transfer, transpiration, water and carbon exchange between the canopy and the atmosphere, and is also an important component of biogeochemical cycles in simulated ecosystems. Meanwhile, LAI is closely related to stand productivity. Therefore, accurate determination of LAI is crucial for further understanding of many physiological and ecological processes. At present, the determination methods of LAI are mainly divided into direct method and indirect method. The direct method mainly includes the destructive samplin...
